Imagine a Marathi daily coming out with an English magazine in its Sunday edition. Tarun Bharat has eliminated the need to imagine: it is already a reality. The mag was launched at Hawaii beach [behind the Goa Police, Crime Branch, Dona Paula] with a bang and music. It was by the sea...and the "Hammerheads" were there. Ethel da Costa has come a long way from the days at Herald and Femina and Goa Plus and Femina to Tarun Bharat [literally, Young India]. It was difficult to make sense of her column in the mindless translation into the vernacular. Now you can read it like it is: in Zinglish. There is always a zing in whatever Ethel writes in English. If anyone had any doubts about the focus of the GROOVE, it would have been dispelled by the photo [ by Farrokh Chothia]of the Goan model Mariam flying in the clothes[ the little of them ;-)), at least ] designed by Wendel right on centre of page one. Next to it was the logo of Vijay Mallya's favourite bird that's also flying. The sun,the sand and the 'see gals' attitude with a dash of the spirit that unifies. See you folks for the "Celebrate Goa" festival from 19 to21 Nov., some place in Goa. Viva Goa. Miguel
